Too Much Tomatoes and No Bread

Now, if the reverse situation from my last post occurs, you can always make a bread-less tomato sandwich like I did last Thursday at the Downtown Farmstand.



Take two slices of tomato (green zebra were terrific), slather soft, spreadable goat cheese (I like Prairie Fruits Farm for this) on one slice and pesto (we used Kinnikinick's arugula, but I usually make cilantro pepita) on the other. Sandwich together and enjoy just like a sandwich.

Cilantro-Pepita Pesto

2 cups packed washed cilantro
1 garlic clove
1/3 cup toasted pepitas
1/3 extra-virgin olive oil

Combine the cilantro, garlic and pepitas in the bowl of a food process. Pour the olive oil through the feed tube while the motor is running. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
